Embers Book

Illustrator Isabelle Montrose arrives in Valmont’s rain-soaked quarter, sketchbook in hand but ideas elusive beneath the amber glow of Café de Minuit. One evening, architect Alexander Vale seeks shelter under the same streetlamp, crimson umbrella in hand. His measured gaze meets her restless creativity, and a silent bond forms as raindrops dance on cobblestones. As Isabelle’s graphic-novel deadline approaches, self-doubt claws at her confidence; Alexander, torn between family expectations and his passion for design, struggles in silence. A misread glance threatens to sever their fragile connection, forcing both to confront fear and longing. In lavender-tinted twilight and beneath flickering lanterns, Isabelle and Alexander choose vulnerability over solitude. Together, they discover that true art—and true love—arises when two hearts light each other’s darkest moments.

Seeking peace and solitude, Avera escapes to the abandoned ruins of the former capital, but what she finds there is a secret which will change her world and Altruon forever.

She survived the fire, but her heart is about to face the ultimate Inferno. Ava's life was consumed by flames, leaving her orphaned and alone.

When he sees a sister, she craves a lover. When he introduces his new girlfriend, Ava's world is shattered. When he brings another woman into their lives, Ava must confront the devastating truth: Can a love built on gratitude ever truly ignite, or will it remain forever in the shadows?
